In the psychiatrically correct view, mental illness are "just like bodily illnesses"; in fact, they are authoritatively declared to be "brain diseases." The truth is that they are not. In medicine, there are diseases and, sometimes, treatments for them. In psychiatry, there are no diseases, nevertheless there are always treatments, that is procedures declared to be "therapies" for what, in fact, are diagnoses. The disanalogy between bodily disease and mental disease generates many confusions, perhaps most importantly the false belief that antipsychotic drugs function analogously to antibiotic and antihypertensive drugs.
